I recently wanted to enhance Sonix 3.40 to have a Note Tempo setting in the Pattern Editor.
This requires 4 changes.
A change to the Pattern Editor to detect the additional key to place the note tempo command.
A change in the Pattern display routine to show the Note Tempo Command.
A change in the player to change the tempo on the occurrence of the command.
A change to the compiler to change the tempo on the occurrence of the command.
The upshot is that it is very very difficult to modify unknown (or in my case forgotten) code so i then decided the best answer would be to disassemble the program to xa cross asm format on the pc, which would then make amendments much easier to do.

But how do we do it?
Well first i saved the complete Sonix file to a tape file..
SONIX.MEM,V
4200-BFDF
SONIX.MEM:TRANSPOSE.MOD:CSAVE"SONIXZ",A#4200,E#BFDF

I then loaded Raw, removed System and user Equates (in Labels) and saved the generated disassembly to SONIXMC.S

This generates the disassembly as a number of files. I am still unsure why a number just one file isn't generated by no matter. From Command prompt i combined these files (which always ended in the extension as a sequence number and began with SONIXZ.)..

COPY SONIXZ.0* SONIXMC.S

The generated file was not far off what i wanted, but there was still some formatting errors in the listing.
So i wrote a utility to convert most of the formatting issues.
The utility also scans a File that holds location labels as a list of #DEFINE statements and replaces the generated LXXXX with the label.
This has saved an awful lot of work.
I will upload and link this utility as soon as i am able(Windows).

The second problem is that the listing contained alot of table areas, some of which DIS6502 had converted to CODE (Incorrect).
This is the stage i am currently at. Manually editing the code is now an option, and any large areas known to be tables or data can be seperately converted to .byt blocks by saving them to tape (from Euphoric), removing the header and finally running BIN2TXT which converts the binary file to a text file with .byt statements.
